A myriad of comic-book writers, artists, colorists, letterers, designers, and editors have come together on a series of new comic-book projects. Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds, an anthology, is a 96-page-graphic (8 x 12 inches). And all the proceeds will be going to aid refugees in Ukraine. 

Except for hard costs like marketing, and printing the funds raised will directly benefit the relief efforts in Ukraine through a partnership with Operation USA.

A variety of finished versions will be available.  And the unique work comes in both hardcover and softcover editions, and multiple cover choices.

The project is being crowdfunded by Zoop.
